Gonna have to be sneakier

I was putting laundry away today (loads and loads of laundry....) Trey had been following me around from closet to closet. I hadn't noticed that he wasn't with me anymore until I heard him say in amazement "oh my goodness". I wish there was a way to explain the intonation in his voice as he said this. It was kind of funny to me but obvious that he'd found something that he considered to be very amazing. I decided I better look for him. I've learned that sometimes amazing for him actually translates into trouble.
I found him sitting in our hall closet surrounded by every last gift the Easter Bunny was planning on giving out next week, even Kayelynn's things! "Trey Stroud!" I said disapprovingly. ( I say this quite often) but Trey missed the edge to my voice this time. And his voice was full of awe " A train mom...and a signal track, and look a winnie pooh color book!". I had to smile. At least he seemed to like what the Easter Bunny had picked out. "Trey, we can't be in here" I told him as I started stuffing the toys back in the sack they'd been hiding in. He, of course, was protesting and couldn't imagine why he couldn't keep the train he'd found.
I finally came up with this fabrication, "The Easter Bunny left these here for us. But, we aren't supposed to see them until Easter. If the Easter Bunny finds out he'll come back and get these and take them away...". I wasn't sure what else to say. I studied Trey to see if he was going to buy it. He started helping me to tuck the toys away. "Hurry Mommy, hurry!". He took me by the hand and drug me out of the closet.
Now every few minutes we have to discuss how many days until Easter!
